A Disciple Pcvrs OIL ON the Ops
poxitfOn.

UKIAH, May l4.--0n Friday night
while Samuel P. Putnam was delivering
a lecture on American democracy to
large audience, and while he was as
saultipg the Christian religion, c. c.
Hamilton, young attorney, disturbed
the speaker, and ON being told to sit
down by the chairman he became 80 en-
rag ed that he graspod lighted coal oil
lam p and threw it st the speaker. He
then gra bbed second one to throw, but
was prevented from doing SO. While
leaving the hall he waived burning
lamp above his head, scattering the
burning coal oil all over the audience.
Great excitement prevailed. Women
and children screamed and rushed for
the door. A number of women and
children fell from the top to the bottom
of the stairs and piled up in a heap.
Fortunately the lamp he threw missed
his victim and passed out OF the room
through window, or it might have set
the room on fire and been the cause OF
great loss of life. No arrests have been
made, but will be.

O,BRlEN ATT MONTREAL.
Quebec Osfers Him Body
Guard to Toronto.

MONTREAL. May li-WiIliam O'Brien
arrived in this city to day at 8 o'clock
by the steamer Montreal. Mr.. O,Brien
left the vessel at 10 o'clock and thought
to escape in a cab unobserved, but as he
stepped ashore, Pat Ryan, policeman,
who spoke with rich Munster brogue.
rushed forward and grasped him warmly
by the hand. "May the heavens save
you, sir,n he exclaimed, II would soon.
er have your little finger than the body
and bones of Lansdowne."
The threats from Toronto loom Tiger
and bigger, but the editor of the United
ireland and the people here who are
best qualified to judge, asser. that they
are only threats. The most significant
fact that has as yet transpired, is the
offer from Quebec Of stalwart body
gaard of armed men to escort Mr..
O'Brien to Toronto. Mr.. O'Brien, who
lis anxious to do nothing that can be
construed into violent action, refused
| the offer.

This gentleman. while travelling for the
Times, struck at Pomona what he con.
ceived to be sensation, and wrote it up
for all there was in it. Mr.. Fuller, the
gentleman who was attacked by the
Times article, made an objection in a
rather forcible manner, and Gormley
irew pistol. Hence his arrest for as.
sault with deadly weapon. Fuller did
not appeal ON the final trial OF the cause
and MIR. Gormley is now as free as the
wanton air that brushes q maiden'i
